If you’re tired of MCs jumpin’ all around in their videos and/or pushing a pseudo image. Cats who got on because of who they know or because they adopted some doofy personally in their 30s when the real them didn’t manage to make a buzz in their 20s. If you’re tired of hyped artists putting out nothing but hot air and wish we could find a way to knock them off Clear Channel.

Then Locksmith is for you.

He doesn’t have the bank account or critical acclaim of many of the cats you’re thinking above from above. Hell, he doesn’t even get the critical praise or “blog love” he rightfully should.

None of that means a damn thing because he’s definitely one of the strongest MCs on the scene right now. Here’s the video for “Broken,” featuring another very talented artist, Jarrell Perry. Off Lock’s Green Box, available for download here.
